Lyrics
Matters at hand need to be addressed
Matters at hand need attention and resolution.
But you and I need to take a rest to
Despite the urgency, both individuals should take a break.
Leave the lines open for the ones
Keep communication open for those with valuable information.
With information and not for father's sons
Avoid using communication channels for personal or familial interests.
You wouldn't listen to someone else
Refusal to heed advice or input from others.
You thought you'd tackle this one yourself but
Opting to handle a situation independently.
As you spoke did it not occur
Suggesting that the speaker did not consider seeking assistance.
There could be someone to whom you could defer?
Highlighting the possibility of consulting someone more knowledgeable.
When it's important and you're not familiarized
Emphasizing the importance of silence in certain situations.
Silence trumps lies
Stating that keeping silent is more powerful than spreading falsehoods.
Oh - Quiet is something to keep and be
Quietness is valuable and should be maintained.
Oh - Would it kill you to wait and see?
Encouraging patience and withholding judgment.
Oh - It's hard to hear any expertise
Expressing difficulty in recognizing expertise amidst noise.
Oh - Over you giving out guarantees
Criticizing the act of making guarantees without certainty.
Where there is proof and yet the loudest voice denies
Despite evidence, the loudest voice denies the truth.
Silence trumps lies
Reiterating the power of silence over falsehoods.
Nothing was known but so much was said
Uninformed statements were made, creating confusion.
Once again in over your head but
Repeating a pattern of being overwhelmed by a situation.
Words still came fast and furious
Despite confusion, words were spoken hastily and passionately.
You've never been accused of being curious
Not known for curiosity or inquisitiveness.
Put your pride and vanity away
Advising to set aside pride and vanity for future uncertainties.
Tomorrow could be way worse than today so
Recognizing that tomorrow may bring more challenging situations.
Stop saying the things you can't unsay
Urging to refrain from saying irreversible things.
Just count to ten
Encouraging patience and restraint through counting to ten.
Don't be too quick to criticize
Cautioning against hasty criticism.
Where do you stand
Pondering one's position and stance.
When you say yes and
Raising a question about commitment when saying "yes."
Then improvise?
Suggesting the need for careful consideration and planning.
All you have told us
Observation that the communicated information is about self-promotion.
Is: it pays to advertise
Implying that broadcasting oneself is beneficial.
And that
Reiterating the idea that silence is more powerful than falsehoods.
Silence trumps lies
Final emphasis on the supremacy of silence over lies.
